Deferred Tool Search Experiment (tengu_tst_kx7)

An A/B test is running to evaluate enabling automatic tool search even when below the token threshold, if deferred tools are present in the context.

Details
  • Feature flag: tengu_tst_kx7 (controlled by GrowthBook)
  • Activates when: below normal tool search threshold BUT deferred tools exist
  • Hypothesis: Deferred tools signal potential tool use even at low token counts
  • Logs: "Tool search enabled via experiment (tengu_tst_kx7)" or "disabled via experiment"
  • Falls back silently if GrowthBook not ready: "tengu_tst_kx7: GrowthBook not ready, skipping"
Evidence

Line 451507 (experiment check, contains V4("tengu_tst_kx7", !1) and "via experiment (tengu_tst_kx7): below threshold, deferred tools present")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
